Long Division Worksheets 3rd Grade

The first thing we need to do is to write the division out in the correct long division format.

Now we repeat the 4 steps: divide, multiply, subtract and bring down until there are no more digits left.

Stage 1

Step 1) Divide: we need to find how many groups of 2 can be made from the first digit which is 3.

You can make 1 group of 2 out of 3.

We write 1 in the answer line above the digit 3.

Step 2) Multiply: we multiply 2 by 1 (our answer from the previous step) to make 2.

We write 2 below the 3 and draw a line underneath.

Step 3) Subtract: we subtract 2 from 3 to give 1.

We write 1 under the line below the number 2.

Step 4) We bring down the next digit which is 8 and write it next to the 1.

We now have our next number which is 18.

Stage 2

Step 1) Divide: we need to find how many groups of 2 can be made from the number 18.

You can make 9 groups of 2 out of 18.

We write 9 in the answer line above the digit 8.

Step 2) Multiply: we multiply 2 by 9 (our answer from the previous step) to make 18.

We write 18 below the 18 and draw a line underneath.

Step 3) Subtract: we subtract 18 from 18 to give 0.

We write 0 under the line below the number 18.

Step 4) Bring down: there are no more digits to bring down so we have finished.

The first thing we need to do is to write the division out in the correct long division format.

Now we repeat the 4 steps: divide, multiply, subtract and bring down until there are no more digits left.

Stage 1

Step 1) Divide: we need to find how many groups of 3 can be made from the first digit which is 8.

You can make 2 groups of 3 out of 8.

We write 2 in the answer line above the digit 8.

Step 2) Multiply: we multiply 3 by 2 (our answer from the previous step) to make 6.

We write 6 below the 8 and draw a line underneath.

Step 3) Subtract: we work out 8 − 6 = 2

We write 2 under the line below the number 6.

Step 4) We bring down the next digit which is 7 and write it next to the 2.

We now have our next number which is 27.

Stage 2

Step 1) Divide: we need to find how many groups of 3 can be made from the number 27.

You can make 9 groups of 3 out of 27.

We write 9 in the answer line above the digit 7.

Step 2) Multiply: we multiply 3 by 9 (our answer from the previous step) to make 27.

We write 27 below the 27 and draw a line underneath.

Step 3) Subtract: we work out 27 − 27 = 0.

We write 0 under the line below the number 27.

Step 4) Bring down: there are no more digits to bring down so we have finished.

The first thing we need to do is to write the division out in the correct long division format.

Stage 1

Step 1) Divide: we need to find how many groups of 5 can be made from the first digit which is 9.

You can make 1 groups of 5 out of 9.

We write 1 in the answer line above the digit 9.

Step 2) Multiply: we multiply 5 by 1 (our answer from the previous step) to make 5.

We write 5 below the 9 and draw a line underneath.

Step 3) Subtract: we work out 9 − 5 = 4

We write 4 under the line below the number 5.

Step 4) We bring down the next digit which is 1 and write it next to the 4.

We now have our next number which is 41.

Stage 2

Step 1) Divide: we need to find how many groups of 5 can be made from the number 41.

You can make 8 groups of 5 out of 41.

We write 8 in the answer line above the digit 1.

Step 2) Multiply: we multiply 5 by 8 (our answer from the previous step) to make 40.

We write 40 below the 41 and draw a line underneath.

Step 3) Subtract: we work out 41 − 40 = 1.

We write 1 under the line below the number 40.

Step 4) Bring down: there are no more digits to bring down so we have finished.
